    It`s definitely easier to remove but resistant, No an yes.. It will act as a sacrificial layer but it can still etch, instead, it`s the film.

    If the bird crap had any white looking stuff I believe that is nitrogen. Seagulls, geese or whatever kind of bird it was probably eat some of the same stuff my chickens eat. Chicken poop will make stuff grow

    Re: Does Ceramic Coatings prevent bird etching? Answer is:

    I`ve had several scenarios where bird poo appeared to have etched the coated paint and it ended up going away on it`s own, mostly cars with OCP/OCP+ on them. I`ve also had some instances where coated cars that appeared etched with bird poo didn`t go away on their own.

    My conclusions...Not all SH!T is the same!

    To Kevins is this happening from every bird drop you get on your car?

    That is some sad things to get and wondering also what those birds is eating. When you take it of next time spray a couple of sprays with an APC or other alkaline based product and let it dwell for a little time. And do not wipe it off and spray a QD or a waterless wash solution to get the lubrication and then wipe it off. Repeat after the dropping is off and it`s to neutralise the acids in the bird drop. So you feel all is gone and not still etching after wipe off. And see if that`s helps to get the damage from it a bit less.
    I actually find PPF to be more prone to etching then paint, which is why we always coat PPF.

    Re: Does Ceramic Coatings prevent bird etching? Answer is:

    Pretty much /\

    If you`re going to Ppf you need to coat it, for one of two reasons...

    1. Either the car isn`t completely done in Ppf (Ie just the front end impact areas)
    2. Ppf is more or less meant to protect against physical abrasion/trauma whereas coatings are more chemical. Yes, coatings can help against light swirls/wash marks with soft paint but don`t expect them to stop rock chips.
